I'm sorry or maybe I'm not.

Right now, I have a Wild Cat story in the works for Valentine's day, the same day of my writing anaversery. Officially been writing for 2 years now. The story might come out a bit late through, spell checker doesn't want to be my friend.
However, something has been nagging at me for a bit about Wild Cat. To all of you, it probably seems like a crazy departure from my other works. It is, and while I'm not going to stop writing about them, I don't know how people feel about them in general. Not so much the "do people not like my new cat boy OC" and more so "are people fine with me going for this if it's so different".
So I want to put this to you, the people who show up to read my works.
I'm not going to stop writing about Wild Cat, they are a character I really want to develop and take somewhat seriously. However, I also know I started doing all of this because I was board and full of ideas on a pandemic Valentine's day. So I'm going to ask about what story you want me to work on next.
Would you rather:
Have A Wild Cat story that focuses on the Curator running the Morphaplex? Something that shows how he views himself, the world, and his son, all while he commits shady crimes and dealings for the betterment of his supermall, even transforming people who ask too many questions.
Or would you rather have a reimagining of dead space where the necromorphs are fur based? Unlike the actual games, this won't have much body horror if any at all, same with gore. Instead, I'll replace them with fully fur based creatures, trying to convert the whole ship into one giant being of fluff.
Keep in mind, voting for one shouldn't mean losing the other. I do plan on writing both stores eventually, but I wanted to at least ask for the thoughts of the people who watch me. To the people who are probably sick of me writing about a super cat, I am sorry I diverted away from what you like. To the people who want to see more of the Wild Cat world I'm building, I'm not going to be sorry for doing the stuff you like.

Basically, if you want to make things you love, BUT know they will only appeal to a smaller subset of fans and either for money or just personal pride reasons don't want to loss most of your fans, it helps to go, "I'm putting out a TFTG smut story where a guy turns into a girl and gets fucked and its super horny. THEN I'm putting out part 5 of my own going series about one mans attempt to pick up the peaces of his life while also solving the murder of his best friends wife in a neon soaked cyberpunk dystopian future. Then I'll do another horny one so people who are just here for the horny don't end up leaving when they feel like I'm abandoning what made me appeal to them in the first place."
Or for me, switching between super horny, silly smut stories and my own going narrative about the inner lives of the protagonists and villains of said silly smut stories, focusing on what makes them tick.
Anyway that all aside, I'd say go for the Wild Cat idea, its a good one!
However, you do still make a great point. I should still try to break up my works between the horny and wild ideas I have, and a more conected TF native I have going on with the Wild Cat setting, even if I do plan to fuse the two once I make Wild Cat an actual character and not a cut out.
Thanks for the advice shark mom, if you still use that nickname that is.
And heh ya that's still a nickname I use.
